I'm flabbergasted that it's my Granny's 94th birthday this week! One of my neighbours has some gorgeous flowers outside their front door, so I used this as my inspiration for her card: I started off with an A6 textured white card base & some Stampin' UP! 'Pool Party' card stock, that I stamped with the… Continue reading Granny’s 94th Birthday!

WMFC#21 Anything Goes!
I hope you've all had a nice weekend (despite the weather not being able to make up it's mind!!)? The challenge on Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge is 'Anything Goes', so I thought I would use my 'Festive Foliage' stamps & new dies 🙂 I bet other crafters don't have this problem, but I'm not very into… Continue reading WMFC#21 Anything Goes!
Stampin’ UP! Catalogue launch party 2014
Ooooh!!!! Too many nice things to buy!! But I made myself a promise: that I would only get inks & cardstock today & amazingly I was strong!! My Stampin' UP! demonstrator Nikki organised the launch party at Debbie's house this morning/afternoon. Unfortunately it was rather wet, but there was lots for us to do inside,… Continue reading Stampin’ UP! Catalogue launch party 2014
Sometimes Series…
I'm sure regular visitors to my blog will have worked out that I love IndigoBlu stamps, but I have recently discovered Acid Drops & Whatnots too, and they make a great team!!! I love this smooth chap from 'Dressed to Kill' & the sentiment is from the IndigoBlu set 'More Than Words'. The Acid Drops… Continue reading Sometimes Series…
A big squishy hug – WMFC 20
I'm just uploading this before rushing off for work!!! I stamped the leaf border from the Waltzingmouse 'Gift Card It' on an A6 white card base (tent fold orientation), then I used the co-ordinating die set to cut the gift card holding strip in the middle of the card & stamped the sentiment in Stampin'… Continue reading A big squishy hug – WMFC 20
Return to blossoming health – WMF20
Phew! I managed to finish this in time to enter the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge! This fortnight's challenge was colours: Aren't those colours lovely & fresh? I LOVE orchids, so my first thought was to make loads of paper orchids in the colour scheme, but then I realised that that wouldn't really showcase my Waltzingmouse stamps… Continue reading Return to blossoming health – WMF20
Masculine Birthday card
Two posts in one day - I'm on a roll!!! I'll be out in the sunshine later though - I can't resist!!! It was my Step Sister's boyfriend's birthday on Friday & I always find men hard to create cards for... Whilst going into Hobbycraft for something completely un-related I found the new Docrafts Papermania… Continue reading Masculine Birthday card
New Home Cards!
TWO colleagues of mine moved into their first homes with their respective partners last weekend! I decided to create them cards to celebrate the joys of their first mortgages!! Unfortunatley my photographs are a bit dark!!! I used the Waltzingmouse Stamps set 'A Cottage Home' to stamp the house, porch and topiary pots. I coloured… Continue reading New Home Cards!
Father’s Day 2014 tag
Here is the matching tag I made to go with the card I made my Step Dad. I used Stampin' UP! Gumball Green cardstock and the Waltzingmouse Stamps 'Folding tag die set'. I used a different yellow ribbon to the one on the front of the card becuse the hole in the tag is very… Continue reading Father’s Day 2014 tag

Good morning! The weather may not be amazing, but I hope you enjoy the last day of the weekend before another week begins. In case you have been living under a rock, today is Father's Day. My biological father died in 2007, so he's no longer with me, but my parents divorced when I was… Continue reading Father’s Day 2014
